The mission of Northwestern University Center for Public Safety is to serve public safety organizations and other entities by setting the standard for quality education with real-world application, being the industry-leading resource regarding public safety issues, and initiating and sustaining connections among professionals, thereby driving the development of public safety professionals at all stages of their careers and contributing to the advancement of a safer society. The School of Police Staff and Command (SPSC) is an intensive ten-week program that prepares law enforcement managers for senior positions by uniquely combining academic principles with practical applications. Because research is a key component of the SPSC, many times a student’s research project comes directly from a timely and critical issue facing that student’s agency. The knowledge gained can be put to use immediately. From the time it was launched in 1983, the SPSC has received enthusiastic response from executives and trainers throughout the country. In 2012, the SPSC curriculum was redesigned and updated to better incorporate adult- and problem-based learning models.
